Default Is it possible to programmatically determine where a user is?

From Help

xlCountryCode Long Country/Region version of Microsoft Excel.
xlCountrySetting Long Current country/region setting in the Windows Control Panel.

Hi Bob

Yes 1 = US

US Vista with US O 2007

MsgBox Application.International(xlCountryCode) = 1
MsgBox Application.International(xlCountrySetting) = 1

US Win XP with German O2007

MsgBox Application.International(xlCountryCode) = 49
MsgBox Application.International(xlCountrySetting) = 1


So as far as I can test it

xlCountryCode = Excel language version
xlCountrySetting = Windows language version

I get 1 on my system for that Ron, which I assume is the US, so I reckoned
it was the language version?

Hi Edward

You can test the country code

Application.International(xlCountryCode)

Dutch is 31 for example

Hi everybody,
I'm writing some VBA code to customize several office programs I know how
to
find users login name but I'm not sure that is possible to find the
region or
country they are ? If I can find their country then I can apply some
default
settings for each region. We have offices in US, Europe and Asia.
Thanks,
